this weapon been my go to for a lil bit, but you’ll definitely have some “fuuuuuck if only I had a 60 rounder” moments with it lmao. ultra 5 suppressor barter and an rk-1, any -4 recoil hand guard and you’re chillin. hamr sight with a delta point is awesome or you could just run a holo. Either way it’s a laser beam.
@MsArchitectschannel11 ай бұрын
HAMR is traaash since they fucked the delta point and every other micro sight, it was meh before that also but unusable since, i'd rather just run a 3.5x for 1/2 the price or an elcan for 3/4 the price!

@@MsArchitectschannel hm I dunno, delta point still feels relatively ok to me, bravo and hamr are my go to when I’m not running vudu/holo and I still get good results with the delta point. I agree that the rest of the micro sights are a meme tho
@MsArchitectschannel11 ай бұрын
@@Iforgor777 Delta point is only useful on low recoil guns while laying down. if you are moving or standing or there is ANY level of recoil the bullets don't go anywhere near where the red dot is. if you are more than 5m from someone you are hitting over their head or under their feet (it's random which one) all the micro sights are the same

@@Gigabeef yup absolutely, the image of the AK-101 is very clear with clean edges and just blurring the gameplay background makes for a very minimalist and clean look, working with blur or emulating the look of frosted glass called glassmorphism makes it appear more premium and is used by Apple on IOS and now Windows 11 uses it as well with its new design language
@franciscoetchepare874211 ай бұрын
Now that I think about it, you can run a very similar build without reaching those trader levels since M856A1 is really accessible. On mechanic 1 there's a barter that costs 5 gp coins for an ak-104 with the rrd, the canted rk1, a - 3% recoil handguard, the saw pistol grip and the holographic you were using in the video. After that, you swap parts and sell what you don't use
